To Save Drowning Horses,

A Bangor ice man says that they never
take horse on the ice without tying o
rope around his neck, so that If he gets
into the water the rope may be tightened
and the animal choked The strangled
horse at once puffs up and rises to the
surface, and is then usually pulled out
without much trouble, and when he is
well away from the hole the moose is
loosened and he gets his wind again. A

chilled horse thoroughly, and he is none
the worse for his cold bath.-Philadelphia

Clay images are also used for tho spirits

had suddenly been driven out of his mind
by the sight of blood stain on the piazza.
At (which Maud shuddcred, and was about
to relate her version Of the nights ad-
ventures when Mrs. Estabrook's voice
was heard in reproachfu1 accents from
above. They fastened up stairs, and
found the poor lady inclined to Mysteries
at being left alone. She began an 1nco-
herent story, in which Peter and tho
burglar were jumbled, to Toms utter be-
wilderment.
sBut who winged the burglar, thenT'
he asked. 'sWas it you, Maud?n

warning finger appraised. Giles in there,

"Oh, wait, Tom," she said. ssThat is

the tale of their strange guest. "1t
doesn't seem like his being burglar, but
I don't think he can be in his right
mind;" she concluded.
"By joyel I should say not! Wanted
TO be locked up again? Why, the man
must be first class crank. Well, Ill
have q look at him."
He left the room, and the two women
heard the key turn in the lock. They hello
their breath to listen, but all they could
distinguish in the next room was 9 con-
fused sound of voices and laughter.
Presently Tom came back, accompanied
by the suppositious burglar.

said Tom, with wave of the hand and
twinkle Of the eye. . Mother, this is my
friend ur. Folliott, who seems to think
there is some mystery that needs clearing

The real burglar was never found.
Therefore Tom Estabrook was unable to
settle the question if that suspicious
stranger, resembled Mr. Marston Folliott
in anything beyond the soar. Even that
had nearly disappeared before Mr.. Folliott
left The willows, so that when Amelia
first saw her future brother-in-law she
grayely remarked that she could not
imagine how mamma and Maud could
have made such singular mistake. She
was sure She never could. Which, from

How to Kill Cats.

After much consultation with veteri-
nary surgeons and experts, no better or
more mcrciful method of killing cats has
been found than to put with q long
handled wooden spoon about half q tea

the cats tongue as near the throat as POS

seconds. Great care must be used to get
pure cyanide Of potassium, and to keep it

Ens1,ion In Novels.

Novelists have gotten up q corner on
weird and startling subjects and thrilling,
ghastly tales now hare the call. Novels
have their fashion and the novelist must
cater to the current desire. The Howells-
James novels are losing their popularity;
and those Of tho class to which Steven
sons belong are gaining the public's ear.
This change in the taste of novel readers
occurs every few years, and if the libra
ries had kept record of the character Of
tales called for most frequently during
certain periods they could tell just how
long fashion lasted and when its turn
came again. Atall events, it looks as if
Poe's style of literature is going to have
another.-Professo Morgan.

People will always be glad to see you.
When you bring yourself tyour thought,

Finally Cook determined to entice on

boat, with the national colors of England

He %thereupon struck Cook in the back,
who, with a yell of terror, fell to the
ground. Another thrust from the
warrior plainly evidenced to the people
that Cook was but mortal. After rudely
dissecting the dead body, as was the
national custom, the teeth were knocked
out, and the heart removed and placed
in the fork Of a tree to dry. A native

n friend gave me the following recipe:
'Put enough boiling water in a pail to
cover your feet; in this dissolve all the
powdered alum possible; as soon as you
you can bear it, place your feet in the
water and soak them for two hours,
adding hot water and alum as the water
in the pail cools. keeping it as hot as it

Linen Paper versu. Cotton Paper.

By dint of frequent repetition, the
statement that two kinds Of paper, dis
tinguished as cotton paper and linen, or,
as it is often called, rag paper, were in
common use in Europe from q very early
period has gradually come to be gener-
ally accepted d true by photographers
and ~antiquarians. Upon equally good
authority it is commonly believed that,
while cotton paper was introduced into
Europe by the Arabs in the Seventh or
Eighth century, linen Tor rag paper was
a European invention of much later date.
But the time and place Of the invention
Of linen paper, Notwithstanding the long
and learned controversies of the last cent
ury, have remained shrouded in mys-
terry; nor does there seem to be any i'm
mediate prospect of arriving at n definite
conclusion concerning these points. In
the light of recent discoveries, however,
the main question at issue, the compare
tive antiquity Of cotton and linen paper,
is in a fair way soon to be solved, il in
deed we have not already before us evil
dence amply sufficient to enable us to
reach a final decision, and a decision in
direct opposition to the current belief
